"Jesus, Doc! We're going to be parodied with swing revival music? This is heavy!"

- Honestly, How could I not do a tribute to my favorite Science Fiction movie with this round?

Futur Ridin to Zoot Suit Riot?

Son of a bitch, jazz? Must you torture me with a genre I hardly know? And Science Fiction, that's just screaming for a Transformer parody, but my previous attempts havn't gone down that well. Maybe the Matrix?

When I pulled this topic that the first thing that came to mind... T-Cop's going to do a "Transformers" parody... Yes he is...

I'll probably do the song "Heaven Is a 57 Metallic Gray" from DDR, and it'll be about... either MST3K or Battle Of The Planets.

I would love to see a Mystery Science Theater parody done! Don't know much about BOTP though...

TOM SERVO!!!

Aaaaand that's why I'm reluctant to do one. Now I just gotta find a jazz song that I know...

Oooooh...that's my FAVORITE DDR song!!  Well, that and "Wonderful Night" by Fatboy Slim...

You play DDR? From those 2 songs, seems like you have Extreme 2. I like Daikenkai and Sakura from that game.

CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! (I'm different!) My fave MST3K episodes are Mitchell, Giant Spider Invasion, Time Chasers, and of course... The Final Sacrifice. ROWSDOWER!

I got another peice of the puzzle complete I'm going to do a song by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy for this round... I just need to find the perfect song to parody that fits with a "Back to the Future" theme.

So...it turns out I don't know any jazz or swing songs. CRAP. Suggestions anyone?

Zoot Suit Riot?

I'm either going to do a parody of a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy hit or a song from the new Disney motion picture that has a lot of jazzy tunes "Princess and the Frog"

Zoot Suit Riot?


I thought of that, but I couldn't think of a parody for it...until 2 minutes ago, when it came to me: "Transform - Roll out!", the Autobot battle cry! I'll keep y'all posted.

Mind's still blank on the words.

"Transform And Roll Out!" has been submitted...it was actually pretty easy to write. I have no idea why it was so, it just was.

Counting Kristof, that makes 2! 2 AmIRight saints! AH AH AH AH AH AH!

so...as it turns out...i have nothing.  :-[

i threw around several different ideas that i thought would work out.  i honestly love the genre...but nothing was coming together.  actually i DID almost finish one tonight...that i was really rolling with...but then, when i went back through it...it kind of sicked me out.  hahaha.  like...i just didn't like it.  so...i'm totally lame.  and i get it.  but i WILL, as i did in the past, vote on this round...in spite of my lameness.

i'm so so sorry.

So we have one person.... Wow... This contest just isn't working

Let's just give Conqueror 20 points and move on, 'kay?

But i WILL, as i did in the past, vote on this round...in spite of my lameness.


In my promise to vote...I had no idea that only one parody had been submitted.  Sheesh.  Conq is a champion.

Let's forget this round ever existed and give Conqueror 20 bonus points for being the only one with good enough parody skills to complete something for this round.

This is official both depressing and crazy-awesome at the same time. Depressing because everyone else ran out of parody juice (I wish I could reach through the internet to hand you all a can...or slap you all in the face, depends how long it's been since my last coffee), and crazy-awesome because I just got points for waxing lyrical about my favourite topic. Better luck next time, y'all!
